Google Allo now available for download

Google’s new messaging platform has just rolled out today in select countries. If you’re lucky, you might already have the chance to try it yourself.

Google Allo was first introduced back in May of this year. It’s not meant to replace the existing Hangouts app from the same company but rather compliment it and make messaging more fun than before.

It features Smart Reply, lots of emojis and stickers, and introduces Google Assistant. With Assistant in Allo, you’ll be able to talk to Google and get things done within the app like making plans, searching for answers, and have some fun by sharing what’s on your mind. The messaging app is also encrypted and has an Incognito mode similar to Chrome.

Check out Google Allo on Android and iOS today. The complete international rollout should be done in the coming days. Be sure to pre-register for it.
